Luke Wattenberg Returns to Practice, 21-Day Window Opened

Broncos center Luke Wattenberg has returned to practice after his 21-day practice window was opened, making him eligible to be activated from injured reserve for the AFC Championship Game. He missed four weeks with a shoulder injury after starting the first 15 games. Wattenberg, who signed a four-year, $48 million extension with $27 million guaranteed earlier this season, is a key piece of Denver's top-ranked offensive line.
